aplay -D <device> seems to think everything is OK and plays the file,
but I hear nothing :-(

aplay -D hwplug:0,0 returns an audio open error: No such file or directory,
allthough aplay -lLv tells me there is a device 0,0:
card 0: Audigy [Audigy 1 [Unknown]], device 0: emu10k1 [ADC
Capture/Standard PCM Playback]

Maybe I have to mknod a device?

I don't have a local .asoundrc. The files in /etc were deleted.
